Trompe l’oeil, or ”Trick of the Eye”, is where realistic, real-world scenes are painted on a surface — usually a wall or door but in many of the cases Pixellica presents below even whole buildings — and sometimes they’re so real you’d walk right into them. I’ve scoured around for a couple weeks tying to find the best ones.
